We have chosen to limit our seminar class size to improve your learning experience. We believe that a smaller class size increases your educational opportunities and creates a more comfortable learning environment.

Are you a RACE approved continuing education provider?

Yes, Veterinary Dentistry Education and Consulting Services LLC (VDECS) is an approved provider. All of our courses will be, or are submitted, for RACE approval by the American Association of Veterinary State Boards. CE Certificates are provided at the end of the seminar. RACE guidelines prohibit using RACE program status on promotional and advertising materials for a continuing education course until an individual course RACE Program Application is successfully approved and RACE has provided approval notification for an Approved Continuing Education Program. If and when notification is received, then a RACE provider can add approval to their course listing. Therefore, only after receiving approval notification will VDECS add this information to the continuing education course listings.
